英文简介:
NEW YORK TIMES BESTELLER – REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK Nothing brings a family together like a murder next door.
“The perfect mix of family drama and murder mystery” (Kellye Garrett, award-winning author) in this lighthearted whodunnit about a grandmother-mother-daughter trio of amateur sleuths.
Think: Gilmore Girls, but with murder.
High-powered businesswoman Lana Rubicon has a lot to be proud of: her keen intelligence, impeccable taste, and the L.
A.
real estate empire she’s built.
But when she finds herself trapped 300 miles north of the city, convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daughter Beth and teenage granddaughter Jack, Lana is stuck counting otters instead of square footage–and hoping that boredom won’t kill her before the cancer does.
Then Jack–tiny in stature but fiercely independent–happens upon a dead body while kayaking.
She quickly becomes a suspect in the homicide investigation, and the Rubicon women are thrown into chaos.
Beth thinks Lana should focus on recovery, but Lana has a better idea.
She’ll pull on her wig, find the true murderer, protect her family, and prove she still has power.
With Jack and Beth’s help, Lana uncovers a web of lies, family vendettas, and land disputes lurking beneath the surface of a community populated by folksy conservationists and wealthy ranchers.
But as their amateur snooping advances into ever-more dangerous territory, the headstrong Rubicon women must learn to do the one thing they’ve always resisted: depend on each other.
中文简介:
《纽约时报》畅销书 – 里斯读书俱乐部精选 没有什么比隔壁的谋杀案更能让一家人团聚的了。
“家庭剧和谋杀悬疑的完美结合”(凯莉·加勒特,获奖作家)这部轻松愉快的侦探小说讲述了业余侦探祖母母女三人组的故事。
想一想:吉尔莫女孩,但有谋杀。
实力雄厚的女商人拉娜·鲁比肯 (Lana Rubicon) 有很多值得骄傲的地方:她敏锐的智慧、无可挑剔的品味以及她建立的洛杉矶房地产帝国。
但当她发现自己被困在城市以北 300 英里的地方,与成年女儿贝丝和十几岁的孙女杰克一起在一个沉睡的沿海小镇养病时,拉娜只能数水獭而不是平方英尺,并希望无聊不会让她丧命。
癌症确实如此。
然后杰克——身材娇小,但非常独立——在划皮划艇时偶然发现了一具尸体。
她很快成为凶杀案调查的嫌疑人,卢比肯妇女陷入混乱。
贝丝认为拉娜应该专注于康复,但拉娜有更好的主意。
她将戴上假发,找到真正的凶手,保护她的家人,并证明她仍然拥有权力。
在杰克和贝丝的帮助下,拉娜揭开了一个由友善的自然资源保护主义者和富有的牧场主居住的社区表面之下隐藏的谎言、家庭恩怨和土地纠纷的网络。
但随着她们的业余窥探进入了越来越危险的领域,任性的卢比孔河女人们必须学会做她们一直抵制的一件事:相互依赖。
